Howdy!
Happy Valentines Day!! I hope that you are having an excellent day and feeling the love from your own loved ones! This particular Valentines Day, since I am awesomely single, my lovely roomie Shannon and I (with assistance from Captain-As pictured below) passed out Valentines to random strangers on A&M's campus!
How cute is he?!!? Answer: Really really cute! Anyways we just got back from handing out candy and valentines around campus and its always really funny to see people's different reactions. You get the really happy people and the weirded out people. So that was a blast and then later tonight we're actually going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show together in down town Bryan tonight! So that will be a blast since I've never done that before! So single people...don't act mopey do fun things!!! Woo!
Memory #18
So when I was in elementary school I moved from three different houses and into four different schools, and as a result of that I was fairly weary about going to school. Going to a new school on the first day, especially as a kid, is terrifying! What if I don't find friends? What if my teacher is from the Black Lagoon?! To help ease me into school my mom started making me "special lunches" everyday. These special lunches included a hand written note from my mom and a PB&J sandwich that she would cut into different shapes. On normal days they would be in the shape of a cat or a flower. For Valentines day it was always a PB&J sandwich cut into a heart. Christmas time it would be a Christmas tree sandwich. Halloween? Pumpkin..Duh. She would buy all of these different cookie cutters just so that I'd have a fun sandwich every day.
The notes my mom wrote me were always filled with love and got me through those tough first days of not knowing anyone or when I was having a bad day or even when I was having a good day. There was nothing more exciting for me than to open my lunchbox everyday and that, my friends, is what made school bearable for me. Nothing made me feel more special or important than the lunches my mom made for me. I know that moms are supposed to be the ones that make you feel special and what not, but my mom always went above and beyond to make sure that I would feel loved.
I now have the urge to make a heart shaped PB&J sandwich...I know for me that this will be something I continue if I am blessed to have my own family. They will all have cut out sandwiches and a love not all inspired from my loving mother!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
Love always,
Erin
